I'm not a KDE developer at all, but I know that the kioslave capability 
itself is definitely still there.

This sounds like something for a kio-sword-devel list (if there is one) 
rather than here, but: exactly what KDE capabilities does kio-sword need 
that it can't find in KDE4?  If it is just Konqueror, maybe it can be 
enhanced to just use the system-preferred web browser for its output, 
rather than Konqueror??
